Now first off I have to say I've always appreciated the Howard 100 News. And I really enjoyed the 6:00 newscasts they had early on and felt that format did the news more justice than the short sound bytes during commercials.
And I always appreciated the stealth parody of how seriously "real" news organizations take themselves. Especially with Steve Langford and his antics. He's been hilariously persistent with both silly shit like Benjy's age, and more serious stuff like the Geo Group investigation.
But I've gotten fed up with the recent focus on chronicling the failure of The Jay Leno Show. It's really taken the Leno obsession to a new level. It's just pandering to Howard and I get the feeling a lot of listeners are tired of the Leno rants and there's a lot more the Howard 100 News could be focusing it's coverage on.
To me, these pieces do nothing but draw attention to a show that's losing it's audience and will probably fade into obscurity soon enough. Howard's always gone after people and has had this beef with Leno for years. But I think the around the clock coverage of every rating or comment a critic has about the show is beyond excessive.
I hope I'm not being the guy who doesn't get it and is missing the joke, but is anyone actually enjoying this coverage?
